Photographic Journey Through the Texas State Parks

A few years ago, I began a photographic journey across Texas, attempting to capture the beauty of its state parks. To showcase the vastness, natural diversity, and beauty of the state, I'm creating a short slideshow for each park and will feature a couple of them on this page every week. Hope you'll follow along with me and my exploration of Texas. No sunscreen or insect repellant required!

*In 2019, operation of six historic sites were transferred from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to the Texas Historical Commission. Since I'd already visited these sites, I decided to leave the links to the slideshows on this page.
